Why It’s Healthier to Try More?

Trying more things, in general, can improve the quality of your life. You might not be aware of this, but doing or eating more things can help you, first of all, have a better understanding of how your body works, and life a better and more satisfying life.

You’ve probably watched that Jim Carrey movie, “Yes-Man” – and have noticed how the character’s life improved by the end of it. Of course, this is the kind of approach to your daily life you have to have.

Therefore, we will be going through the advantages of just trying more in life. Thus, you will see the many ways that help you be happier and always leave your home with a smile on your face.

Trying More Food

For most of us, diets are very important. We make a plan of action, select the things we like and want to eat and find a way to implement them in our diet. But why would it be better to diversify it?

Well, the food you might have included in your diet may not be healthy for you. Moreover, you may have more of a certain nutrient and less of other important ones. Let’s say, for example, that you don’t really like meat. Therefore, you will do your best to get as little meat as possible in your meals.

Of course, you may enjoy this, but your body will definitely not, as meat contains plenty of nutrients, iron, selenium, and many other things that are beneficial for you. We don’t have to mention the fact that even diets meant for losing weight recommend you eating meat – as it promotes long-term weight loss.

So, in this case, trying more helps your body get everything that’s required for it to be healthy and happy. Furthermore, trying all the types of food you may encounter will help you know what you actually like or not.

You may not like fish, but a certain dish has caught your eye – and the only reason it’s not in your tummy yet is that it’s made of fish. This is not the way you should be thinking?

You should just give it a go and try it – doesn’t matter if you still don’t like it afterward, you will at least know how it tastes and the exact reasons for which you wouldn’t want it in your diet.

Be spontaneous – order a dish just because you like its name and see how things come out in the end!

Trying More in General

Trying more gives you a better understanding of life. You can learn why you don’t like a certain thing, or why other people like that thing so much. You might be afraid of trying new things, but this mentality will only keep you in a safe spot – and far away from all that life can offer you.

As one saying goes, it is better to try and fail than not trying at all. Not trying keeps you away from all the things you might enjoy. For example, you might not like a certain sport until you try it – and when you try it you might be so good at it that you may even participate in competitions or events.

Moreover, you will not be filled with regret at the end of the day. If a ride at the fair looks exciting and interesting, but you still don’t get in it and enjoy the moment just because you think you don’t like it, you will later regret that you didn’t give it a go.

Saying no to things will only close you in your little bubble and you will be haunted by fears for your entire life. Wouldn’t you just feel grateful if, for once, you say no to your fears, and do that skydive jump you wanted to do for a long time?

Of course, you don’t have to try things that put your life in danger – this is highly advised against. Instead, turn to those little things that you’ve always wanted to do. They can, and eventually will entirely change your lifestyle.

Why It’s Healthier to Try More?

Overall, most of the things you choose to try more will improve your way of thinking, as they make you understand better what’s happening around you. Moreover, some of them will improve your quality of life and health. Diversifying your diet, the things you eat and drink every day will give your body what it needs to make you a happier and healthier person.

Naturally, you would want your life to be balanced – this is always a good thing. But you should also leave some space for more. Don’t fill up your entire schedule with things that you do daily – start drawing, for example, even if you are not good at it.

It can help you reduce stress and anxiety, while also improving your creative skills. As we mentioned before, it’s the little things that make you feel better about yourself.

On an ending note, we advise you to be spontaneous – take one more bite out of life if you feel like it, and don’t be afraid that this will ruin your diet or your mood.
